Hi Internet!! I made a thing!!!!

Bound: Slap Shots: A Hollanov Bind-This-In-Your-Style Shinny

📑 Typeset by the marvellous @citrusses and @phoenixortheflame

🖼️ Art/photo edits by the HR royal wallpaper maker @frenchnbookish

🪡 Bound by me! @froidefille

🎁 Gifted to my first IRL AO3 friend @ollliecat. I’m so glad we’re in this madness together 🥹

The biggest thank you, I love you, good job to shinny mods and participants and of course to the writers whose works we could bind 🤍 taking part in this together brought me so much joy!! Talk shop and process pictures under the cut 🤓

Okay so!!!! When designing this bind I listened to The Role Model and The Long Game mostly so it is mostly Ilya coded. I envisioned the blend color scheme of Boston Raiders (black+yellow) and Ottawa Centaurs (black+red). Hence velvet black cover material (don’t do this to yourselves, it somehow collected all the dust from my apartment in like 30 minutes), maroon endpapers and straw yellow ribbon.

For endpapers I also added some quotes from the show and the boys’ numbers and initials (notice H for Hollander is next to R for Rozanov which also makes HR for Heated Rivalry 🤓)

Shoutout to @shelfawarepodcast you can hear in the background, go give those ladies a listen, I love their talks so much!!

I also made my very first dust jacket!! Took an Uber across the city to have it printed and have been thinking about buying A3 printer ever since 🙃 made in Canva of course. I really miss Photoshop in times like these but alas, subscriptions.

Front and back covers as well as this post’s header were made using photo edits by @frenchnbookish. Do yourself a favour and check out her edits, they are honestly hilarious on top of being just SO.PRETTY. I gotta admit if not for this shinny, I would still figure out a way to make this particular edit a book cover because it totally absolutely 100% should be. Connor is somehow perfect Ilya here and Hudson is miraculously Shane-like 😅

Sewn using french stitch, glued spine then added endpapers. I managed to forget how to impose but @citrusses had my back 💛

Okay, I think that’s it! I’m sure I’ll think of something to add later on but oh well. I’ve only been writing this post in my head for a month so 😅
